A computer/laptop (preferably laptop) with:

Wireless network card

Windows 7

Graphics card that can run RuneScape on HD

Enough RAM to easily run GIMP and 2-3 other apps at once

At least 8GB HD

 

Just an estimate, I need the money first before customizing and whatnot.

 

For future reference, what are the lowest cost models of graphics cards that can currently run RS on HD/fullscreen mode?

350 bucks 320 gb hd, 2.0ghz dual core will easily run rshd and it has windows 7 preinstalled. Better deal than i got on my toshiba so I would go after that deal.

What is your budget?

 

Edit: I would also avoid all netbooks. Atom CPU's are junk and I would avoid at all costs.

That's the question. How cheap can I get it for/what's the average price of such a machine?

Graphics should be Nvidia or Ati, since intel graphic accelerators are crap enough to not be able to run full rshd.

 

And 8GB HD, do you mean 80GB HD? since no one runs on 8GB anymore, most people run on 320 or 500GB nowadays.

Just a few examples.

 

But know what you're getting when you're buying a laptop under $500.
